each access point is plugged into the wired network (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Point-to-Point Bridging
Point-to-point wireless access with integrated wireless backhaul—In this application, two bridging access points (Cisco Aironet 1030) are
interconnected via a wireless link. One of the bridges is connected to a wired network that has a wireless LAN controller on it, while the remote
access point offers service in one band, and uses the other band for backhaul (Figure 2).
